Does Anemia Lead To Blurry Visions?

34 YO female, 67", 180 lbs. Diagnosed with anemia approx 3 weeks ago and placed on 325 mg ferrous sulfate, twice a day. Noticed changes in vision (occasional difficulty with focusing) over the past couple of days. Is this related to the anemia or iron pills?

Ophthalmologist,  's  Response
Yeah anaemia can effect the vision in the eye....As the delivery of oxygen is affected in the eye it will cause the blurring of the vision and also it can lead to severe he am rages and can convert into severe complications which can be permanent if not treated at early stage so better to take an opinion of an ophthalmologist to get the eyes checked early.
